Seeking a regional road approach

The first steps to planning future regional roads took place last Thursday night, March 21 at Sunset Elementary School in Airway Heights.

The city of Spokane hosted the first of two workshops to gain public input on developing a united regional transportation plan.

Participants included the city of Spokane, Spokane County and Airway Heights.

Bill Grimes, principal with Studio Cascade, Inc., said the plan will factor in plans for the typical major highways as well as non-motorized transportation methods for groups like bicyclists and pedestrians.
